Ingredients
- 2 lb beef stew tips or flank steak (cut into thin strips)
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 cup neutral oil (canola or grapeseed)
- 4 stalks green onion (cut into 2-inch pieces)
- 3 bell peppers (cut into strips)
- 1 large onion (cut into rings)
- 2 tsp ginger powder
- 4–5 garlic cloves (minced)
- 1/2 cup low sodium soy sauce
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp Sriracha sauce (adjust for spiciness)
Instructions
- Prepare the beef by trimming excess fat and slicing against the grain into thin strips. Coat the beef evenly with cornstarch and let rest for about 10 minutes.
- Heat neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add half of the beef strips in a single layer and sear for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add sliced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until softened, then add minced garlic and ginger; cook for another minute.
- In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, water, brown sugar, and Sriracha sauce. Pour over the sautéed vegetables and bring to a simmer.
- Return the seared beef to the skillet, tossing everything together until well coated with the sauce. Stir in green onion pieces just before serving.
